Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]

INVENTORIES

INVENTORIES

We used the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of valuing inventories for 47 percent and 47 percent of total inventories at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. Since inventory valuations under the LIFO method are based on an annual determination of quantities and costs as of June 30 of each year, the interim LIFO valuations are based on our projections of expected year-end inventory levels and costs. Therefore, the interim financial results are subject to any final year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

Inventories consisted of the following:

(in thousands)	December 31, 2015				June 30, 2015
Finished goods	$	295,609			$	324,840
Work in process and powder blends	173,360				249,629
Raw materials	70,628				100,881
Inventories at current cost	539,597				675,350
Less: LIFO valuation	(62,098		)		(99,819		)
Total inventories	$	477,499			$	575,531

- Definition

The entire disclosure for inventory. This may include, but is not limited to, the basis of stating inventory, the method of determining inventory cost, the major classes of inventory, and the nature of the cost elements included in inventory. If inventory is stated above cost, accrued net losses on firm purchase commitments for inventory and losses resulting from valuing inventory at the lower-of-cost-or-market may also be included. For LIFO inventory, may disclose the amount and basis for determining the excess of replacement or current cost over stated LIFO value and the effects of a LIFO quantities liquidation that impacts net income.
